Cruisin' Guzzisti
Guzzi would need an water-cooled engine to broaden their portfolio... water-cooling would be attractive in any sporting bike planned... In a cruiser I would think it less attractive...

roadscum said:The rear cylinder on the H-D air/oil-cooled motor gets VERY VERY hot. H-D recentlly modified the engine mangement system to shut down the rer cylinder at slow speed when the the high temperature thresh hold is met. Police models have an auxillary fan to blow air over the rear cylinder at parade speed. Can you say HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

GuzziMoto said:And the Buells with the air cooled sportster motor had serious rear cylinder heat issues as well. I had a tube frame X-1 and if you did not wear real riding gear (i.e., you wore just jeans) it would toast your inner thighs. I'm pretty sure that one is not a "myth".
Also, the VRod motor began life as the VR1000 motor. As to the length of it, the VR1000 was very short.
